I’ve mentioned before my weakness for fried food. It’s definitely a group of foods I don’t eat often and it’s rare that I make anything fried at home (the oil!) However, over the years, I’ve morphed how I make dumplings to help give me a taste of something salty and crunchy. These Brussels sprout potstickers…
Cilantro
Black Bean Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
A great twist on summer potato salads!
Black Bean Burrito with Guacamole
My love of rice, beans, and guacamole shoved into a burrito.
Quinoa Falafel
| Disclosure: This recipe was created for Ancient Harvest. See below for more details. | One of the earliest items I learned to make when I first started cooking happened to be baked falafels. I had fallen in love with falafels thanks to a local Greek restaurant near school but once I moved away, I had…
Chipotle Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Egg Skillet
When I first started eating vegetarian, one of the things I noticed right away was the lack of flavor restaurants would use in their vegetarian options. It was almost as if vegetarian was synonymous with: “oh you don’t eat meat? That must mean you want a big pile of vegetables with nothing else or pasta,…
Huevos Rancheros with Roasted Sweet Potato
Let’s talk breakfast. I’ve been on the search for the perfect breakfast taco but what I’ve come to realize is that I’m not sure there is one. Something about scrambled eggs on a taco doesn’t sit well with me and it could be because I love huevos rancheros so much. I still get the crisp…
Thai Cauliflower with Pearl Couscous and Cilantro
The other day I was perusing a news site that had posted an article about a few “healthy” recipes. While I like to read the article, the comments are always what seem to grab my attention. Without looking, I can tell you what you would probably find in those comments: a lot of bashing, hate,…
Spiced Sweet Potato Quesadilla
I’ve just recently pulled my mandoline back out. We purchased it years ago for specifically making pickles to can. Other than that, the mandoline lived in the back of my cupboard. It was one of those, “kind of a pain to clean, so I’ll just use a knife” tools. However, I recently made a large…
Sexy Cabbage (+ Cilantro-Lime Carrot and Cabbage Spring Rolls)
I have this post that I’m not sure quite how to write without sounding like I’m a stones throw away to being a cliched analogy of standing on a soapbox or preaching to the choir. So, I’m going to try. I’ve been reading quite a few books about our food system as of recent and…
Cauliflower Steaks with Green Harissa and Brown Rice
I understand that calling a slab of cauliflower a steak is a bit of a stretch but there’s something magical about eating a fork and knife meal when being a vegetarian. This recipe comes together quick. The cauliflower steak is done in roughly twenty minutes and the harissa barely takes anytime at all. Serve over…
Sweet Potato Soup (and the New Year)
I haven’t felt like writing recently but with the New Year approaching, I felt like it was time to pick back up for a bit. I use to be the kind of person that subscribed to the notion that New Year’s resolutions were the sort of thing that would help. The resetting of the calendar…
Curry-Yogurt Acorn Squash with Cilantro Quinoa
When I created my guide to the bulk bins, I went on a mini shopping spree. My cupboards are crammed full of beans, lentils, split peas, and more grains than I can count on my two hands. I’m also terribly guilty of over stocking. Any time I find myself in a place with bulk…
Sweet Corn and Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppers
It’s one of those days where words and I aren’t friends. My brain needs a bit more time (and coffee) to start formulating ideas, to-do list, and blog post. So until that happens, enjoy these photos and this lovely recipe. These peppers are not your traditional stuffed peppers and instead full of corn and…
Sweet Corn and Pepper Soup
Ask anyone in my family and they will tell you that I am slightly obsessive about fall. I’m not heat tolerate and so by the end of July I tend to be dreaming of cooler weather, campfires, and winter squash. I know that it seems a bit wasteful to wish away summer so quickly…
